Just stumbled (much too late) over this series here. One of the greatest explainers of our field presents its fundamentals and history, flanked by a guest list that reads like the who-is-who of machine learning. Highly recommended! youtu.be/tRHt22Y1Yc0?...

Well put, @garrykasparov.bsky.social. I have become a bit cautious with predicting the (non-)occurrence of miracles, but this one would surely be practically meaningless for us. Playing chess will be just as much fun once (if ever) the game has been solved.

In any consistent formal system powerful enough to do elementary arithmetic some statements can be proven to be true without a formal proof. Have we finally fixed Gödel's incompleteness?

New preprint: The Dead Salmons of XAI Standard fMRI pipelines once detected predictive brain regions in a dead salmon! A warning about poor statistical methodology Now, XAI faces its own issues: many methods can yield plausible explanations even for randomized networks arxiv.org/abs/2512.18792

The Dead Salmons of AI Interpretability

In a striking neuroscience study, the authors placed a dead salmon in an MRI scanner and showed it images of humans in social situations. Astonishingly, standard analyses of the time reported brain re...

This is by a large margin the most serious problem and mistake in conference peer review I have seen in my career. Apparently a many people were aware of this and many could find out who their reviewers were. This probably has created a large number of unnecessary enmities. @iclr-conf.bsky.social

my friend/colleague Frank Jäkel wrote a book on AI. I sadly don't know German but I happily know Frank, and I've heard him talking about this for a while now, and just on that basis I'd recommend the German speakers in the audience check it out

I think today I set the new record for the longest time span between two consecutive papers at #KDD: 31 years between KDD-0 (an AAAI workshop in Seattle) and KDD-31 (thousands participants in Toronto). Both papers about rule learning, attendance was higher in 1994 (whatever that means...) 🤔

Just checked in for #KDD-25 in Toronto. They handed me my badge reminding me that I better not lose it because it costs 200$ to print one. At least I now know where 1/5th of my registration fee went to...

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)
